Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Chapter 3340 Bunsoichi

The Xia family sent people to guard the city gate. When they saw the emblem of the Bai family carriage, they immediately stepped forward to ask, and then they enthusiastically invited people back to Hongtian Village.

Zhou Man declined, thinking that it was the most convenient to live in the inn in Shangzhou City, and then go to Hongtian Village the next day.

Most of the connection with Shangzhou is with Xia Rui's family, and Hongtian Village has only sporadic contact with Xia Patriarch, and the relationship is not deep.

The family stayed at the station, and then sent someone to Xia Rui's shop to inform.

Xia Rui quickly brought his eldest son over, "When did you arrive? Why didn't you mention going home to deliver a letter? We can pick you up..."

Zhou Man smiled and said, "It's the same when we arrive and then contact you again. I've told the patriarch about this."

Xia Rui rubbed his hands crampedly, "You brought the child this time?"

Zhou Man responded with a smile and asked May to bring Wu Yuan over.

Wu Yuan looked like his mother at this time, with a round head and a round face. He shook off May's hand, stumbled over and plunged into his mother's arms, then raised his red face to look at Xia Rui .

Xia Rui was overjoyed when he saw it, "You really look like Sister Xin."

Bai Shan: ... The people from the Bai family saw him and said that he looked like his father, and the people from the Zhou family saw him and said that he looked like the mother of Manbao, so that's all right. The Xia family saw that he looked like a mother. Like a little mother-in-law.

Zhou Man looked at his younger son's face, "Really?"

"Really, your mother has a round face." Xia Rui stared at the child and asked, "What is his nickname?"

"Uround."

"This name gets an image, good!"

Zhou Man smiled and said, "His name is Xia Mu."

"It's a nice name, too," Xia Rui quickly got up and saluted when he saw Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng, "Thank you for your family."

Mrs. Liu saw him bowing to the end, she quickly reached out to stop him, and smiled: "This is a covenant made with my in-laws early in the morning. We are just keeping our word, and I don't deserve Master Xia to thank you so much."

Zhou Mandao: "This time I'm back, it's also for the sake of dividing the sect."

Xia Rui was startled, "Are you going to split this one out of you?"

Zhou Man nodded, "Yes, let's start with my grandfather's lineage. After all, Wu Yuan won't be in Shangzhou very often in the future, so it's enough to connect with the sect here."

Xia Rui pondered, "I'm afraid the clan will not readily agree."

Zhou Man said indifferently: "As long as the patriarch agrees, this is done, right?"

Xia Rui nodded, "That's right, but how did you get the patriarch to agree?"

That's not easy, just throw money at it.

In recent years, although the Shangzhou Xia Clan and Zhou Man have successfully recognized their relatives, they have never benefited from Zhou Man.

It is also a coincidence that after so many years, the magistrate of Zhai has been gradually promoted, and he is still in Shangzhou, and now he is Sima of Shangzhou.

With him, who knew the details of the Xia family, everyone inside and outside Shangzhou City knew that although the Xia family was nominally Zhou Man's family, she had no relationship with the Xia family at all, and even had some conflicts in private.

So even if someone wanted to use Zhou Man's name to do things, it would be impossible for him to do things. In addition, Shirou had to go to Shangzhou at least twice a year. With him watching, it would be even more difficult for the Xia family to do things.

How to choose a clan who can't get benefits and a ready-made money, couldn't be easier.

Zhou Man has been in contact with the Xia family coldly all these years, except that she invited the Xia family once when she got married, and has never invited it again, just for today.

Xia Rui was not his father, so he wouldn't force Zhou Man to stay. In his opinion, Zhou Man's sect would be fine, then she would be the master of their branch, and they could do whatever they wanted.

"Then... When are you going back to Hongtian Village, do you want me to accompany you?"

Zhou Man smiled and said, "I was about to ask Uncle Xia for help."

Zhou Man and Bai Shan prepared a box of silver ingots, which they used to bribe Patriarch Xia.

The next day, the couple left their children to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng. They took Xia Rui with the money and went to Hongtian Village together.

Patriarch Xia had been waiting for a long time, and after welcoming the person into the door, he looked back, "You didn't bring the child?"

Zhou Man said with a smile: "The child is young, and it is a burden to bring him. Today, we mainly talk about things, and we will bring him over when we are done talking."

"That's right," Clan Chief Xia said with a smile: "Sacrificing ancestors and going up the genealogy are important matters. We can agree on the matter first and then bring him to worship our ancestors."

Zhou Man sat upright, "Patriarch, since we are going to open an ancestral hall, I want to split my branch and set up another ancestral hall. How about doing it together this time?"

Patriarch Xia was startled, "What, do you want to split the sect?"

Zhou Man nodded and said: "Yes, as you know, we are mainly in the capital now, and there is no industry in Shangzhou, so we plan to set up the ancestral hall in Chang'an, and then join forces with Shangzhou."

"No, your family is withered, how can you divide the sect?"

Zhou Mandao: "This is only now, when this child grows up, he can naturally spread branches and leaves for the Xia clan. I didn't mention the division of the sect before because I took my father's surname, but now we have a boy in our line. That division is the right thing to do.”

Patriarch Xia did not agree, he said: "The capital is not far from Shangzhou, and the graves of your grandparents are here. If your lineage does not return to your hometown, the clan can also help with the sacrifices. If you don't come back for eight years, will the grass on your grandparents' graves grow wildly?"

It's not that it hasn't been.

Zhou Man thought to himself that before she came back, Xia Xia remembered to sweep the graves of her grandparents. Who in the clan would burn a stick of incense for him?

Zhou Man looked at Xia Rui.

Xia Rui waved at them and said, "You go out first, and I will talk to the patriarch."

When they left, Xia Rui took Patriarch Xia's hand and said, "Patriarch, what's the use of keeping her forcibly? Look how big an official she is now, who knows that she is a descendant of our Xia family. ?"

Xia Rui said: "I don't know, but I don't know how to make fun of us. Their lineage is now like this, who doesn't laugh at us and bully the weak behind the scenes, and this pushes the bloodline of direct relatives far away, even take a look at it. The clan refuses."

Patriarch Xia's face turned red.

The Xia clan is not a big clan in Shangzhou, but it is because there are many clansmen gathered, but most of them are poor and their influence is limited.

It doesn't matter much about reputation.

But no matter how much you don't take it seriously, being looked at like this still makes me nauseous, especially when talking about kissing.

Xia Rui also said: "Look at the young people in these years who say kisses, how many of them can say very good?"

"It's okay not to take advantage of Zhou Man's name. Everyone is sure of marrying quietly. Once she borrows her name, people ask around a little, what kind of people are attracted?" Xia Rui Dao: "They are all snobbish eyes who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and there are not many good people."

Patriarch Xia's face became more and more ugly.

"So instead of keeping her, it's better to let her separate the sect and leave, so that everyone can get together and leave, after all, there is still some incense love, right?" Xia Rui lowered his voice: "And she didn't want to split the sect for nothing, she I also brought some money this time..."
